INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Notice), we continue to fulfill our statutory mandate under Section 11 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), to streamline our rules, where 2 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION FCC 00-435 appropriate.1 In particular, we advance proposals that will reduce the burdens on earth station operators seeking routine authorizations and streamline the process for non-routine earth station applications. We make these proposals in an effort to establish a record that will enable us to adopt rules that will encourage innovation, significantly reduce the filing burdens on applicants and licensees, expedite the process of issuing licenses, accelerate the provision of service to the public, and promote service in rural and unserved areas. II. BACKGROUND 2. Section 11 requires that the Commission, in every even-numbered year beginning in 1998, review all regulations that apply to the operations and activities of any provider of telecommunications service and determine whether any of these regulations are no longer necessary in the public interest as the result of meaningful economic competition between providers of the service.2 Section 11 further instructs the Commission to “repeal or modify any regulation it determines to be no longer necessary in the public interest.”3 Accordingly, the Commission has initiated a comprehensive review of telecommunications and other regulations to promote meaningful deregulation and streamlining where competition and other considerations warrant such action.4 3. The Communications Act prohibits earth station operators from operating without a license.5 The licensing of earth stations is not only statutorily required, satellite networks and global communications depend on the existence of licenses to establish an interference-free operating environment. Earth stations provide a critical link between satellites and terrestrial networks. Over the years, we have taken action to streamline our satellite and earth station licensing rules and procedures when warranted,6 and increasingly, we have looked for ways that satellite operations can share spectrum with terrestrial-based operations. In addition, the International Bureau (Bureau) issued a public notice in 1999 initiating a new licensing process for certain types of earth station applications and inviting comment on a number of additional streamlining proposals.7 As part of the 2000 biennial regulatory review, we are 1 47 U.S.C. § 161. 2 47 U.S.C. § 161(a). 3 47 U.S.C. § 161(b). 4 Federal Communications Commission Biennial Regulatory Review 2000, CC Docket No. 00-175, Staff Report (released Sept. 19, 2000) (2000 Biennial Review Staff Report). In response to the 2000 Biennial Review Staff Report, Hughes Network Systems (Hughes) made a number of recommendations. In this Notice, we invite comment on all Hughes' suggestions except one regarding the preemption of zoning regulations. Hughes Comments in Response to 2000 Biennial Review Staff Report at 4-5.

We have found several cases in which we believe that modifying or eliminating rules will facilitate more streamlined licensing of earth stations. 4. We expect that, if adopted, these rule changes should expedite the provision of useful satellite services to the public, including, for example, Internet services and extending satellite services to rural areas, without unreasonably increasing the risk of harmful interference to existing operators. Companies are increasingly using satellite systems to deliver Internet traffic from international points to gateway earth stations and from the public Internet along the "last mile" to earth station antennas at customers' homes. In addition, over the past year, the Commission received over 2400 earth station applications, and the number of applications has been increasing in recent years. Therefore, we expect our streamlining efforts to become more important in the future as the number of earth station applications increases further. 5. With regard to terrestrial wireless operations, none of the proposals herein affect the pre-licensing coordination requirements between earth station applicants and terrestrial operators that exist today. As a result, we do not expect any of the proposals to affect terrestrial wireless operations in frequency bands that are shared with FSS operations. Currently, Section 25.203(b) requires earth station operators in shared bands to show that they have coordinated with terrestrial wireless operations in their license applications.8 These coordination procedures are important, in part because some terrestrial operators in shared bands are police dispatchers and other public safety officials.9 Accordingly, we do not propose any revisions to these coordination requirements and procedures in this Notice. Instead, we concentrate on proposals to streamline the procedures applicable after coordination with terrestrial wireless operations has been completed. Furthermore, we do not anticipate that any of the proposals in this Notice, if adopted, would affect the contours of any FSS earth station operating in shared bands, and so would not affect the coordination with terrestrial wireless operators required by to Section 25.203(b). We invite comments from any terrestrial wireless operator who believes its operations might be affected in some way by any of the proposals in this Notice. 6. In Section III of this Notice, we propose rule revisions to streamline the review of license applications filed by earth station applicants planning to use "non-routine" antennas or power levels. We propose relaxing or eliminating several requirements in Section IV, including the current

  • Revision of ST61, Nor Was the Stockholm Agreement of 1961 the First Broadcasting Frequency Plan
    SPECTRUM PLANNING Revision of ST61— Lessons learned from history J. Doeven Nozema, the Netherlands Over the next few years, the Stockholm Frequency Plan of 1961 will be revised to produce a new plan for digital broadcasting in the European Broadcasting Area. In this article, the author describes some of the lessons learned from history which must be taken into account when revising the original Stockholm Plan. Introduction In June 2001, the ITU Council decided – on the basis of a proposal from European countries – that the Stock- holm Agreement of 1961 (ST61) shall be revised in order to make a new frequency plan for digital broadcast- ing. The conference to revise ST61 will consist of two sessions. The first session is planned for May 2004; the second session is foreseen in 2005 or 2006. This conference will not be the first revision of ST61, nor was the Stockholm Agreement of 1961 the first broadcasting frequency plan. Since the start of broadcasting there has been a need for a-priori frequency plans; i.e. frequency plans that are made at a conference and are valid for a long period of time, often 15 or more years. Actually, the Stockholm Plan of 1961 has been in use for more than 40 years! In retrospect, the results achieved at some earlier broadcasting conferences 1 can be reviewed and weighted against the principal conditions required for establishing a-priori plans. The conclusions drawn from this exer- cise may then provide a valuable lesson from history as we prepare for the revision of ST61. A-priori plans Around 1920, broadcasting started in a number of countries.

    Recommendations on Issues related to Digital Radio Broadcasting in India 1st February, 2018 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi-110002 Website: www.trai.gov.in i Contents INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 2: Digital Radio Broadcasting Technologies and International Scenario .............................................................................................................. 5 CHAPTER 3: Issues Related to Digitization of FM Radio Broadcasting .............. 15 CHAPTER 4: Summary of Recommendations .................................................... 40 ii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Radio remains an integral part of India‟s rich culture, social and economic landscape. Radio broadcasting1 is one of the most popular and affordable means for mass communication, largely owing to its wide coverage, low set up costs, terminal portability and affordability. 1.2 At present, analog terrestrial radio broadcast in India is carried out in Medium Wave (MW) (526–1606 KHz), Short Wave (SW) (6–22 MHz), and VHF-II (88–108 MHz) spectrum bands. VHF-II band is popularly known as FM band due to deployment of Frequency Modulation (FM) technology in this band. AIR - the public service broadcaster - has established 467 radio stations encompassing 662 radio transmitters, which include 140 MW, 48 SW, and 474 FM transmitters for providing radio broadcasting services2. It also provides overseas broadcasts services for its listeners across the world. 1.3 Until 2000, AIR was the sole radio broadcaster in the country. In the year 2000, looking at the changing market dynamics, the government took an initiative to open the FM radio broadcast for private sector participation. In Phase-I of FM Radio, the government auctioned 108 FM radio channels in 40 cities. Out of these, only 21 FM radio channels became operational and subsequently migrated to Phase-II in 2005.
